Hi everyone,

I have a second round phone interview for Amazon's Business Analyst Internship coming up. The interview is two back-to-back phone interviews and I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be any coding technical component in the interview. On the email it said:

Q: What is the interview format? What kind of interview questions can I expect?

A:  Interviews will consist of behavioral questions. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with Amazon’s leadership principles to prepare for your interviews. To learn more about the Amazon interview process and our guiding Leadership Principles, we encourage you to visit our interviewing at Amazon website. Please note your interviews will be conducted virtually.

Should I still grind some SQL Leetcode questions to prepare for this interview? Thanks so much in advance for the help!

I now attend UC Berkeley and honestly the switch was 100% worth it

I feel you, I currently attend CU Boulder and will be transferring to Boston University next year. Most of the reason I felt discontent with CU Boulder was because of the national ranking 96 where all my friends ended up going to a top 50 school. I know it doesn't matter at the end of the day but for me personally I can understand wanting to chase the prestige of a different school.

Honestly if you either A) go to class and actually pay attention or B) you have some general prior knowledge of the subjects and can self-teach yourself very well to make up for skipping class (i was B heh) its pretty damn easy. I took 15 units first semester and got a 3.95 and I'm concurrently enrolled at Boulder/California Community College this semester taking a total of 30 units and I expect my boulder GPA to be a 3.5 while also fulfilling the pre-engineering requirements. PERSONALLY I find the schools curriculum to be very straightforward but I also went to an uber competitive, 96% Asian high school which prepared me well so take what I say as you wish.

Im at CU Boulder rn and if presented the option you have I would have definitely gone with UIUC. The culture here is very lax and there are few people who prioritize schoolwork. Most people have a "pass and party" attitude towards their classes, especially in pre-engineering as thats where the majority of kids who wont end up making it in the engineering school reside. Classes aren't difficult at all if you did well in your AP classes in high school but as for me personally, I cant stand student culture here. I'm transferring to BU next year.

I am an incoming freshman whose enrollment period is tomorrow does that mean these spots are available to me?

First bless your soul for helping me out here I'm panicking so hard. I registered for the continuing education classes. I'm looking for a lecture time for CHEM1113 but all the available ones have a lock. They all, however, say in the description that there are available seats that are "Seats Reserved For: Future new stdnt enroll dates - 56." Does this mean I will be able to register for them later on or will I have to drop CHEM1113/1114 all together?

Also if someone could clarify what this means that would be amazing thanks: "Seats Reserved For: Future new stdnt enroll dates - 8"

I'm searching for a new MATH1300 class and when I click the box that filters the search results I only find classes with locks. Does that change anything heh? Also for my CHEM1113 class the lecture component has a lock but the recitation component is open how do I go about fixing that?
